Report:

Got out for a few hours yeterday afternoon, Beautifull day but fair breeze was making casting plugs quite difficult. Fair bit of suspended weed was clogging up the lures too.
Had one follow early on a toby but I reckon a bit of weed on it put him off.
Tried the kilty for a while anyway to get out a bit futher and got a nice bass of abould 2lbs at distance. Next cast to the same spot got hit hard, fish leapt straight our of the water and went ape-sh1t on the surface, he put up a great struggle before I landed him and was chuffed to sea a lovely seatrout of about 2.5lbs. My first seatrout.

Initial joy was a bit diluted to see he was gillnet marked on both sides , let him go after a quick snap anyway, hopefully he manages to keep out of the nets

Well done on the bass and your first sea trout.
Lure fishing was difficult at the weekend alright with the wind and lots of fine weed.
I gave lure fishing a good lash over the weekend without a result, so headed out to do some bait fishing last night and managed a chunky 6.5 lb bass and amazingly for the last week in June four codling as well - I will post up a report later.

I tried the plugs for a while yesterday and found the same with the wind and weed. Fair play on getting a few fish anyway, nice sea trout. I gave up on the lures and hit the mullet instead.

fine trout figs they put up a fair scrap, was out myself at dawn got 1 bass about 3lb and then the weed got intolerable

nice couple of fish there ,nothing worse when the weed puts an end to what could be a great session. no better up here on the east coast ,sometimes even unfishable

well done it always nice to get your first of fish

nice trout

Nice trout there Feargal, been struggling with that weed alright have had a few over the last few days nothing major, all around 2-3lbs, if the weed clears should be out for the rest of the week
